Add a Report to a Dashboard

You can quickly add reports to a dashboard.

This procedure describes adding reports to the dashboard, but the same process is used to add any of the other items listed in the dashboard’s reports explorer.

1. In the dashboard designer’s reports explorer, go to the report you want to add to the dashboard.
   You can quickly find reports by right-clicking a report folder in the reports explorer and selecting Search.
2. Select the report and drag it to the dashboard.
3. Drop the report on the design surface where you want the report to display.
   When you drag the report to the design surface, positioning images, shown here, appear. Hovering over the various images highlights portions of the design surface. After the section where you want the report is highlighted, drop the report. The design surface refreshes to show the updated dashboard layout.
